Abstract:

Mikhail Gorbachev and his supporters have directed many dramatic changes in the Soviet political system over the past few years. The cumulative effect of these reforms, which is now becoming apparent, is the transfer of governing authority from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union CPSU to law-based, Constitutionally-mandated executive and legislative branches of government.
